The book is structured as a frame story containing 100 tales told by a group of seven young women and three young men; they shelter in a secluded villa just outside Florence in order to escape the Black Death, which was afflicting the city. The epidemic is likely what Boccaccio used for the basis of the book which was thought to be written between 1348-1353. The various tales of love in The Decameron range from the erotic to the tragic. Tales of wit, practical jokes, and life lessons also contribute to the mosaic. It also provides a document of life at the time. Written in the vernacular of the Florentine language, it is considered a masterpiece of early Italian prose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are the John Buckland Wright illustrations from the 1955 edition of the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download features 10 images, in jpeg format, that are 600dpi and range from 2856 pixels wide\/tall to 4767 pixels wide\/tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pictures are out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use them in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca title=\"John Buckland Wright\" href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/wright-john-buckland\"\u003eJohn Buckland Wright\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 10 images","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51186489196874,"sku":null,"price":2.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Wright_JohnB_1897-1954_-Decameron1955_main.jpg?v=1751629685","url":"https:\/\/www.publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/products\/decameron-of-giovanni-boccaccio-the-1955-john-buckland-wright-1897-1954-10-images","provider":"Public Domain Image Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
